The thesis focuses on the changes in teachers´ attitudes towards assessment and classification of primary school pupils as brought about by the requirements for pupils?assessment in accordance with the Framework Education Programme for Elementary Education (RVP ZV). In the theoretical part of the thesis, with the help of specialized literature, I described the types and forms of the assessment and classification used at primary schools as well as the criteria and rules for the assessment of pupils. In the inquiry part I compared approaches of teachers towards assessment and classification used at primary schools and attempted to compare the approaches of ungraded schools to those of fully organized schools. Moreover, I focused on teachers of foreign languages and their approaches to assessment.

This dissertation investigated the effects of infusing therapeutic assessment practices into school-based psychological assessments on parent experience. Fourteen assessment professionals from a medium sized public school district in central Texas were assigned to one of two groups based upon previous exposure to Finn’s Therapeutic Assessment (2003) model. Those in the Therapeutic Assessment-infused (TA-I) group were trained on collaborative assessment concepts, while those in the standard practice group were asked to conduct assessments as usual, while being required to conduct initial and feedback meetings with parents. Outcomes were measured using the Parent Experience of Assessment Survey – I (PEAS-I), Parents’ Positive and Negative Emotions (PPNE), the Experience of School Investment and Collaboration Scale (ESICS), and post-interviews with parents and assessors. Parent ratings from both groups were compared using a MANOVA. It was hypothesized that parents in the TA-I group would report having learned more, more positive parent/assessor and child/assessor relationships, more collaboration with the assessor, less negative emotion related to the assessment, and a higher perception of family involvement in their child’s problems. Parents in the TA-I group were also hypothesized to report a greater sense of home-school collaboration and school investment in their child. Finally, it was proposed that parents in the TA-I group would report feeling more positive and less negative about their child’s future. The group difference was not statistically significant, due in part to limited sample size. However, small to medium effect sizes were achieved for several outcome scales, including parents’ positive emotions following participation, positive parent-assessor relationship, and parental sense of collaboration throughout the assessment. An exploratory measure indicated a significantly greater sense of future collaboration with their child’s school for parents in the TA-I group. Post-participation interviews indicated clear appreciations of the TA-I model. Parents experiencing standard practice assessments, however, also expressed high satisfaction, though the requirement of two face-to-face parent meetings may have contributed to a notable departure from standard practice. Results suggest that infusing TA-I practices into school assessments may be effective in increasing parental satisfaction and home-school collaboration. Further research is warranted, and discussion of potential improvements for future research is provided. / text

The Thesis is focusing on the transformation of the approach towards the evaluation of the pupils at the primary school level. Some partial observations can be achieved by this theses mainly in connection to the changing approaches of the teachers of the primary level towards them in connection to the requirenments or the evaluation of the pupils in accordance with RVP ZV. With the help of the specialized literature I described the types and forms of the evaluation and classification used on the primary school level as well as the criteria and rules for the evaluation of pupils in the theorethical part of the thesis. In the inquiry part of the thesis I compared approaches of the teachers towards evaluation and classification used on the primary school level in relation to the introduction of the specific class work realized according to the SVP itself.

Com o objetivo de compreender como diferentes desempenhos escolares se relacionam à localização socioespacial das escolas, buscamos identificar aspectos associados ao fenômeno na visão dos sujeitos envolvidos. Dialogando com trabalhos da perspectiva da sociologia, além de outros mais específicos da área de avaliação educacional e da análise da organização escolar, investigamos quatro escolas municipais de Campinas-SP, no intuito de entender a relação delas com seu entorno social: são duas escolas de mesmo desempenho em zonas de vulnerabilidade social diferentes e duas escolas de desempenhos diferentes em mesma zona de vulnerabilidade social. Metodologicamente, contamos com duas dimensões no estudo: 1ª) cruzamento de dados quantitativos (desempenho e vulnerabilidade social) para definição das escolas a serem pesquisadas e análise das características do entorno das mesmas; 2ª) coleta de dados qualitativa junto às quatro escolas selecionadas a partir de observação, entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos focais. Em nossa organização e análise de dados elegemos seis dimensões analíticas as quais revelam que, sob a proxy "nível socioeconômico", temos vários aspectos externos que não apenas influenciam a criança antes do processo de escolarização, compondo sua proficiência inicial, como continuam a influenciá-la durante todo o período de frequência à escola, sendo observados como importantes aspectos para a análise. Dentre outros estão a existência de processos de escolha da escola pelas famílias; a valorização da escola; as expectativas acerca do futuro dos alunos; a participação nas atividades escolares; as diferenças de modelo/lógica de socialização familiar e escolar; as atividades vivenciadas fora da escola (geografia de oportunidades do bairro e efeito vizinhança); a existência ou não de uma rede de apoio entre as instituições do entorno social; e a natureza das vivências fora da escola / Abstract: Circumscribed by concerns about the quality of education in schools and the factors influencing it, this doctorate work aims to look at the scholar phenomena from investigating the relationship between students¿ performance and social environment (family and neighborhood). With the goal understanding how different educational performances are related to the socio-spatial placement of schools, aspects in the view of the subjects involved were analyzed. In dialogue with works in the field of education sociology, and more specifically, with others in educational assessment and analysis of school organization, we observed four schools in Campinas-São Paulo (Brazil) seeking to understand their relationship to their social neighborhood, with two of these schools presenting the same performance level, but located in different areas of social vulnerability, and the other two showing different performances, but situated in the same zone of social vulnerability. Methodologically, two dimensions were considered in this study: 1st) comparison of quantitative data (performance and social vulnerability) and neighborhood characteristics in order to define which schools to survey; 2nd) qualitative data collection based on observation, semi-structured interviews and focal groups. For the sake of data organization and analysis six analytical dimensions were adopted revealing that, under the socioeconomic level proxy, many external variables not only influence children before schooling process, formatting their initial proficiency, but also influence them throughout the schooling period, which are seen as important aspects to the analysis. Among other relevant aspects and contributing to the analysis, the following should be mentioned: the school choice by the families; the valorization of school by students and their families; expectation about students¿ future; participation in school activities; differences in the family and school socializing logics; activities experienced by students outside school (geography of opportunities and neighborhood effects); the existence of a support network between institutions in the neighborhood / Doutorado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Doutora em Educação

The Swedish compulsory education system is not seen as high quality according to the (OECD, 2015). Instead eyes are turning towards Finland and Singapore for best practice. Sweden's results are falling in international assessments such as PISA and TIMMS (Skolverket, 2016a/2016b), despite high expenditure per capita and several education reforms lately, such as a new curriculum and new teacher training education. The Swedish Schools Inspectorate scrutinizes schools with the objective to ensure a good education in a safe environment and to sustain nationwide equity. The authority therefore has a decisive role in judging the quality of schools in Sweden. The objective of this thesis is to study the criticism of Swedish Schools Inspectorate towards schools that have received a penalty for not abiding the law. The data consists of six school inspection reports seen as a case. Qualitative analysis is used building on discourse analysis theory. The findings of the research are that discipline and value-based issues are two of the areas discussed most in the criticism of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate. The inspectors also seem to look for discrepancies between documents and school staff. Different groups have the power to express themselves on various issues, such as special educators in student health. The pupils are also given a strong voice and space to define their school in the reports.

in English Assessment allows the teacher not only to assess the success of teaching, but also to plan other teaching objectives and means of their fulfillment, especially the content of teaching, the choice of methods and organizational forms. The diploma thesis aims to find out what types and forms of school assessment are prefered by Primary education teacher trainees. The second objectives is to identify what influences students' preferences in choosing the types and forms of school assessment, and to compare the views of 1st, 3rd and 5th grade students on school assessment. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis focuses on defining the researched issues, assessment functions, forms and methods of assessment. The research survey is conceived as a quantitative study, the respondents are students of the Primary education study programe. As a research method was chosen questionnaire of my own design. Key words Primary Education; assessment; school assessment; teacher training
